FOOD INSPECTION.

Since the discovery of cattle affected
with pleuro-pneumonia in Westchester
county, n. Y, some fears have been ex-
pressed that infected meat from that sec
ton would find its way into the metro
politan markets. Inquiry developed the
fact that two dressed beeves were
shipped to New York Immediately
after these disclosures were made
and it was made apparent that the stock
had been exposed to the disease even if
they had not contracted it.
Men skilled in handling meat can easily
detect the presence of diseased tissue.
In these days of fraud and imposture in
the handling and selling of food products
1t is important that rigid inspection OF
such articles be enforced under the di-
rection Of men competent to conduct
such examination. We have a general
law, the enforcement of which has
restraining influence upon the sale of
limitations of butter and cheese, the pro-
visions of which should be extended to
all foods and food products. The law
applies TO all adulterations of food pro-
ducts, but is practically imperative from
the lack of fund to carry out its pro-
visions. Yet something has been done
in, preventing adulterations, and very
mhch more is required.
That diseased meats are brought to our
markets cannot be denied. Within a
week gentleman thoroughly conversant
with the subject and with an experience
of years, detected in market in this city
two quarters of beef that he is convinced
was obtained from animals afflicted with
pleuro-pneumonia The effect of the
disease was shown in the condition of the
tissue of the meat. 1t may be the seller
did not know the character OF the meat
he was cutting up for his patrons. If he
did he is a fit subject for a criminal
action. In numberless instances dis
eased animals that are beyond hope of
recovery are slaughtered "to save the
meat" which is sold to regular dealers
who may know nothing of its condition,
on knowing may have no scruples in the
matter, so they can make good profit in
the transaction. Beef has been sold in
certain markets in the city which is so
impregnated with strong medicine as to
be unpalatable, as IT certainly was unfit
to eat.
Such things are possible every day in
the week so long as city is unprovided
with a competent inspector oil meat VINO
will perform his duties unfiinchingly and
well. While danger hides in almost every
form of prepared food, and is always to be
found in partly decayed fruits and vege-
tables.iI is nowhere more securely hidden
and disgusting when found than in the
diseased steak, roast or soup piece. 1t is
a duty the government-whether munich
pal, state or national-owes to the people
to provide the best sanitary protection in
the food supply as well as in other mat
ters that appertain to the general health.
The supervisor of markets does all that
is possible to be done under the circum-
stances, but the inspection of meat and
of the stock that is brought here for
slaughter can only be efficient when
under the control and supervision of
person skilled in the detection of disease
in both the live animal and in the car
cass.-Cleueldnd Plain Dedler.

THE SOIL AND THE PEOPLE.

Henry George told the clever young
woman who interrogated him the other
evening upon his land theories that Gland
is the only thing which grows in value on
account Of the growth of the community,
and hence the community should get the
advantage of the increased value" The
price of land, like everything produced
for sale, is governed by the law of supply
and demand. Mr.. George likewise told
the young ladies, who asked him,
"Would not the doing away with
private ownership in land do away
also with the reverence and love
of homer" that "only four per cent. of
the people of New York own their
homes" That may be true of New York,
and yet true it is, as of no other people,
that we are nation of freeholders, and
our Government is a great landed
Democracy.
And in the nature OF things the owners
of the soil must govern the country, in
the absence of great military establish
ments. The security of our free system
OF popular government lies in the wide
participation of the people in the owner
ship of the soil. We can boast ourselves
a nation of sovereigns only so long as we
remain nation of freeholders.

TO BUILD 1T.

The belief has been almost universal
that with the death of Captain Eads all
further attempts to build ship railway
across the isthmus of Tehuantepec would
be abandoned. None it is thought could
put on and wear his mantle None take
up the work where he left it off, and
carry it forward to successful compile
ton.
1t seems, however, that such is not the
case. While Captain Ead's death has
retarded it has yet by no means broken
up the enterprise. Some thirty of the
wealthiest citizens of Pittsburg, interested
already to the amount of 81, 500, 900, have
already moved in the matter of finding a
successor to Captain Eads, or rather, to
find some engineer whose ability is COM
mensurate with the great work he will be
called upon to do. The engineer selected
is Colonel James Andrews. who was with
Captain Eads in the building of the jet
ties, and who was really his right-hand
man. Colonel Andrews is now in Mex
leo, but upon his return an organization
is to be at once effected, a national char
ter obtained, and operations commenced
as soon as may be thereafter under the
plans and specifications as furnished in
full by Captain Eads before his unfortu-
nate and premature death.-Kansas City

that Of the most heroic kind, is as GER

these ''rosy's" are. Is one Of the

fetters of Church domination Is another
of the "rosy's" the ever increasing vigor

finds more polygamous indictments than

that the leaders Of polygamous church
are hourly crowding the underground?
Does it present a very "rosy" appear

INTRODUCE THEM.
From the Church Echo:

The first annual gathering of the family
of the late President Heber G. Kimball
occurs at Fuller's Hill. The reunion
will be notable affair. and several hun
dred guests are expected to be present. A
special programme has been arranged for
the occasion, one feature of which will be a
sketch of President Kimball by Bishop o.
F. Whitney, his grandson.
We hope that when the above inter-
esting gathering takes place, the cere-
mony OF introducing the widows of the
President will be carefully and conscien-
tiously performed. Some time agoit will
be remembered two wives Of the
lamented polyg-president met at public
gathering, and were carelessly allowed to
remain in ignorance for several hours
that they were members OF the same
family circle. We trust that we will not
be compelled to again chronicle such
polygamous impoliteness.

GERMANY is indulging in a series OF
provocations TO France. These provoca-
tions are petty. but are none the less gall
ing on that account, and while they are
beneath the dignity of the French nation
as causa belli, at the same time are
most irritating. Bismarck evidently
means mischief, and by goading French
vanity to desperation, hopes to cast upon
France the onerous responsibility OF a
declaration of hostilities.
